How does your ear hear a sound?
Your ear may be considered to have three major parts, the external ear, the middle ear, and the innerear.The external ear comprises the parts that are exposed to the outside air, up to the ear drum. Attached to the innerpart of the eardrum are three tiny bones (the smallest bones in your body - grain sized.), and these in turn connect to an oval window, which is one of the boundaries of the inner ear. The inner ear is a tapering tube, arranged compactly as a spiral, and with a membrane dividing the tube into two lengthwise. Arranged along this dividing membrane, are numerous sensory hairs, each connected to its hair cell, and these to our auditory nerves.The ear drum vibrates in response to a sound, and this moves the series of three middle ear bones. Their arrangement helps the ear to deal with the huge range of sounds we encounter. The third of these is the stapes, which in turn vibrates the oval window, and passes the sound wave (now a vibration) to the fluid-filled cochlea. The vibrations in the cochlea, in turn activate the many thousands of hair cells (grouped according to frequency), and these send an electrical signal to the brain for interpretation.[Mammals have a 3-bone middle ear, and a 1-bone jaw. Earlier species in evolution have a 2-bone middle ear, and a 2-bone jaw.] The middle ear is ventilated to the atmosphere via your Eustachian tube, and when this becomes blocked by an infection, (or by rapid change in altitude e.g. air travel), we experience pain due to the ear drum being pressurized.[Located in the general vicinity of your ear are your balance organs, but these are not part of the hearing process. Birds have a magnificent 3-axis set of balance tubes, land animals have a good set, and fish have rather inferior set of balance tubes. [It doesn't matter so much if a fish falls over!]]

They're called plugs, not gauges. You can paint the front or back of them but not the part touching your ear. If you do paint the outsides, you'd have to wear silicone earskins around them so that the paint doesn't touch your ears.

Will ear gauges ever close?
Ear gauges can indeed close. I have head several stories about peoples' ear gauges closing over time, some even being near size 00. Ear gauges can close over time if you don't wear a plug or tunnel in it. If the gauge is small, it will take less time for it to close, unlike BIG gauges - which could take around 2 months. One secret is to rub hemerroid cream on your ears about twice a day first your ears will swell but later when your lobes go back to normal the holes will be smaller. However, if your ears were gauged above a 00, they will never close entirely without surgery, which currently runs about $800 an ear.
